C80 Down and out
C80 Down and out
It was clear that this old man definitely had some wounds on his body, and they were not ordinary!
More importantly, the old man's body was faintly emitting a kind of 'one with the world' realm. Although he was just casually sitting there, it was very inconspicuous, as if he had already blended in with the surroundings. This proved that the old man's cultivation was extremely high!
at least, they were existences above the Martial King Stage Realm.
Without batting an eyelid, Chen Xiao walked in front of the old man's stall and scanned his surroundings.
There weren't many items on the stall, only about ten or so items. However, each item was rare and valuable, but the price of these items were not cheap. No wonder there were people watching from the side, but they left with just a glance, because they couldn't afford it.
Even with Chen Xiao's current wealth, if he wanted to buy a few things from this stall, he would probably lose.
He was indeed a powerful warrior!
Chen Xiao's guess became even stronger, but he still did not speak, he just silently squatted in front of the stall and reached out for the item on it, wanting to see it.
"Little friend, if you don't want to buy it, don't touch it casually!" A slightly deep voice rang out. It was the old man sitting cross-legged behind the booth who had opened his eyes at some point.
The old man's eyes flashed. He was obviously a martial arts master, but his aura was very weak and ordinary people couldn't detect him at all. He looked just like an ordinary mortal.
With a slight frown, Chen Xiao's gaze stayed on the old man's face for a few seconds, before moving to his arms and neck.
Chen Xiao's actions naturally caused the old man to frown slightly. His face already revealed a displeased expression, and he said indifferently: "I don't welcome you here, go!"
Chen Xiao was startled, he knew that his actions made the old man unhappy, he shook his head slightly, then looked around, seeing that no one was looking, he lowered his voice: "I can leave, but, if I leave, your injuries, I'm afraid no one else will be able to treat them!"
With that, without even looking at the elder's widened eyes, Chen Xiao stood up and walked out of Wuxian.
At first, the old man was startled, a cold light flashed past his eyes, but after seeing Chen Xiao's cultivation level, his eyes narrowed. After hesitating for a moment, he saw that Chen Xiao was walking further and further away, and immediately said: "Little friend, please wait!"
"Hmm? "What is it?" Chen Xiao turned and looked at the old man.
The old man was startled, a light flashed past his eyes, he immediately understood what Chen Xiao meant, and his face revealed a surprised look: "You can see that I am injured?"
Chen Xiao immediately smiled, and his smile was extremely brilliant. He did not continue walking, and turned around to return, once again squatting in front of the vendor, stretching his hand out and picking up a stalk of medicinal herb within the stall to play with.
This time, the old man did not speak up to stop him, he only stared straight at Chen Xiao, as though he wanted to see what Chen Xiao would say.
After a long time, the elder finally opened his mouth and smiled, "Not only did I see the injuries on your body, but they are also very serious. I'm afraid you don't have much time left to live."
After he finished speaking, Chen Xiao put down the things in his hands, turned around, and picked up another item to observe it. Only from the corner of his eyes, he was paying attention to the movements of the old man in front of him.
Sure enough, after Chen Xiao had said those words, the old man's face, which was covered under the grey robe, was immediately filled with extreme shock.
The old man had never thought that someone would be able to determine that he was seriously injured with just a glance!
Alright, if he was seriously injured, perhaps he could be a dead rascal, but if Chen Xiao could tell that he did not have much time left to live, that would be too scary, even a three or four star arcane refiner would not be able to tell the condition of his body, how did the young man in front of him, who looked to be only ten years old, see through it?
"Who the hell are you?"
This time, the old man's question was hurried, and his tone was laced with killing intent.
Sensing the old man's killing intent, Chen Xiao didn't mind at all, because he could confirm that his guess just now was correct!
The corner of his mouth hooked up into a faint smile, and Chen Xiao opened his mouth slightly as he said: "Chen Xiao, is also the young master of Qingyang City's Chen Family!"
"You are Chen Xiao?" The old man was startled, a hint of astonishment flashing past his eyes. It was clear that he had heard of Chen Xiao's great name.
After all, Chen Xiao's reputation in the last two days was just too great.
Chen Xiao did not speak anymore, but his gaze was still fixated on the old man's face, as if he wanted to see through him.
"It's better to be famous than to see. Hehe, I'm curious, how did you manage to see through my internal injuries?" This time, the old man asked a question with less killing intent and more suspicions. It was clear that he had already confirmed that Chen Xiao did not know his true identity, or perhaps, was not his enemy!
"I am a arcane refiner!" Chen Xiao said in a low voice.
Old Man:...
The old man was a little confused, he never thought that Chen Xiao would answer his question.
Because, no matter how he looked at it, Chen Xiao looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. Such a young child, even if he studied the arcane refiner inside his mother's womb, how many stars could he reach now?
1-star?
2-star?
Or maybe 3-star?
Even a 3-star apothecary wouldn't be able to see the condition of his injuries, right?
Of course, these thoughts flashed through the old man's mind. He wisely chose not to ask. After all, everyone had their own secrets.
Just like how he had been injured, this was a secret.
This wasn't what he was most concerned about. What he was more concerned about was something else!
"You can see the injuries in my body. Do you think that you can cure it?" After saying this, the old man's heart was filled with both nervousness and anticipation.
He was nervous because he was afraid that Chen Xiao would shake his head. After all, he had already seen too many arcane refiner s, and those arcane refiner s were helpless against his illness. At most, he would use a few medicinal pellets to slow down the deterioration of their condition.
When the old man asked this question, he only wanted to give it a try. After all, even with so many arcane refiner, he still couldn't do it, so Chen Xiao shouldn't be able to, but what if?
The next moment, the old man's eyes widened.
Because, Chen Xiao nodded!
"Are you really sure you can cure it?" The old man's heart leaped to his throat.
"Yes, I can cure your injuries, but not now!" Chen Xiao said indifferently.
"Eh?" The old man frowned and continued to ask, "When was that?"
"When my cultivation reaches the Martial King Stage Realm, I will be able to cure you completely!" Chen Xiao said indifferently.
"What?" The old man's eyes suddenly widened. His face was once again filled with anger and killing intent.
